Shadows and Cliff to Tour UK!

In a move that not even conspiracy theorists had considered, Sir Clifford of Richard has got back together with three quarters of The Shadows – ‘Marvelous’ Hank Marvin, Bruce Welch and Brian Bennett – and have booked a UK tour for Autumn 2009.

For many fans who remember this lot’s fifties heyday with a glint of a tear in the eye, this represents a genuine chance to revisit those halcyon times and, although many players will regard Hank’s style as merely ‘quaint’, if it wasn’t for Cliff and The Shadows, British music may well have been very different.
